(ha. that sticky has the words "mint-glazed leg of lamb" on it. I probably should have taken that off before I shot the photo. oops.)

1 onion, sliced in rings

4 to 5 pound boneless leg of lamb

1/3 cup prepared mint jelly

3 sprigs fresh mint leaves (about 10)

4 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

The Directions.

Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Separate the onion rings with
your fingers and place in the bottom of your cooker. Put the meat on top. In a
small mixing bowl, combine the mint jelly, fresh mint, garlic, rosemary, salt,
and pepper. Smear this mixture on all sides of the meat. Cover, and cook on low
for 7 hours, or until the lamb is fully cooked and begins to relax and lose it’s shape.

Serve with mashed potatoes and a spoonful of accumulated
gravy (you can thicken the gravy by making a cornstarch slurry: 1 tablespoon cornstarch whisked into 2 tablespoons cold water).

The Verdict.

I have always shied away from mint jelly—it looks like lime
jello to me, and I couldn’t figure out why lamb was supposed to be paired with
something that smelled like Doublemint gum
~ until I tried this! Lamb and mint are meant to go together!
This sweet, salty, and minty glaze can not be beat. It really is a good combination-- good enough to make me want to CHANGE our normal Easter Lamb recipe for keeps.

Are you talking about switching to the new post editor? If so, I promise you will love it once you get used to it. The photo features are especially good! (You can re-size photos, change the position, add captions, add alt text, and ad titles just by clicking on the photo.)

lololol!! It took me a while to get used to the new blogger platform but now I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It's much more versatile and there's a lot more you can do! I think you'll love it once you get used to it!!

I made this for Easter and all I can say is thank you so very very much. I've tried a few times to make lamb with so-so results. I didn't grow up eating it, but my husband and stepson love it so I've wanted to learn how to make it for them. This was a home run. They both were all smiles and the leftovers are disappearing quickly. I don't think I'll ever make leg of lamb without my slow cooker again.

hey - your profile made me laugh! I too am (only recently) obsessed with my slow cooker. I have only made one dish (some crazy pork recipe from a US blog which included pancake syrup) which turned out amazing (say so myself!)Anyway - your blog came up on the UK Mumsnet site as a good place to try for good recipes so I'm going to get reading. Obviously I have a HUGE list of things I should be doing instead....but that's the nature of obsession....fee x

Hi I have just recently started using a slow cooker and is the best thing ever, to be honest not the best cook in the world ( probably a massive understatement) I've triedlotx of your users do far and all have turned out great. I wondered if this would work with lamb shoulder I'm not a fab of lamb but my boyfriend loves it so gonna try making it for him x x

I found your website two days ago and made this yesterday! It was a hit and is added to my list of crock pot meals. I look forward to making many more of your recipes.I love the photo of ingredients before cooking.

I too am a new crock pot user; started experimenting shortly after I retired, and now I'm addicted. I just made a leg of lamb recipe that was good, but all of my childhood experiences of lamb included mint jelly, and I wanted that flavor combination. My Welsh grandmother was a first generation American, and she never served lamb without mint jelly. IMHO, it's a match made in heaven, and I'm really excited to try your recipe.
